This is my 12 bore muzzleloading Howdah pistol isn’t a "classic" Howdah pistol.
I made it because I want to know how it feels to shot a 12 bore handgun.
It have smooth bore and sights, accuracy at 5 meters is good.
Recoil was impressive but pleasant, more like a slow push, mostly back.
I design it to be shot with 100 gn of FFFg BP over a patched round ball
On the picture you can see also the ball on the patch primers and 100gn charge.
I hope the picture works.
